NUMBER 2. (Everyone else may find themselves in this slot at some time during the run!)
1. Don't get too close to the Leader, they may just slow down for a junction, whereas you will have to stop.
2. The general rule of marking all deviations from the "straight ahead" (i.e.; "follow the white line") route must be maintained.
3. The exit on all roundabouts must be marked, even if the route is "straight ahead" (this may be eliminated only if the route is "straight ahead", AND all exits can easily be seen on the approach, such as many small roundabouts in towns, etc.) This is to prevent anyone taking the "straight ahead" exit when, in fact, it is a concealed "right turn" exit that is being marked.
4. When marking a junction, position yourself in a safe and as highly visible a position as possible, visible from the direction of approach of the group.
5. If necessary reinforce the direction to be taken by use of indicators and / or hand signals.
6. Remain at the junction until the Back Marker arrives. Ensure that the Back Marker has seen you, and knows which route to take, then re-join the run in front of the Back Marker, when it is safe to do so.
7. Advise the Back Marker if you believe that anyone has missed the junction.
ALL RUN PARTICIPANTS.
1. Start with a full tank of fuel.
2. Ensure you can identify the Leader and the Back Marker.
3. Travel at your own pace. Do not worry about losing sight of the rider in front, as any deviation from the "straight ahead" route will be marshalled.
4. If you wish to pass a slower rider, do so when it is safe.
5. Be observant and look out for junction marshals.
6. Participants at the rear of the group should ensure that the Back Marker is kept in view.
7. If in doubt about the direction to be taken, consult the marshal, and / or wait for the Back Marker.
8. If you would like to incorporate an “observed ride” at some stage during the run, then make your wishes known to the run leader, who will try and put you in touch with an Observer, who will be more than willing to assist.
9. If, at any point during the ride, you wish to leave the group, please stop and notify the Back Marker of your intention to leave. This avoids the run leader thinking that you have been lost.
10. ENJOY YOURSELF!
THE RUN GUIDELINES THAT WYAMs USE, ARE DESIGNED AS AN EFFICIENT WAY OF GETTING A GROUP FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER, BUT SAFETY IS AN INDIVIDUAL’S RESPONSIBILITY.
